Bills vs. Patriots notebook

1. The Buffalo Bills fell to 0-3 on the season with a 38-7 loss to the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass. New England is now 3-0, and thus three games ahead of Buffalo in the AFC East race.

2. Quarterback J.P. Losman sustained a Grade 1 knee sprain on the Bills’ first offensive series and was replaced by rookie Trent Edwards, who completed 10 of 20 passes for 97 yards. Coach Dick Jauron said he expects Losman to miss a couple weeks.

3. Buffalo also lost its defensive signal-caller, likely for the season, when rookie middle linebacker Paul Posluszny broke his left forearm in the second quarter. He’s scheduled for surgery today.

WRAP UP

Rock Bottom — Can it get much bleaker than this? The Bills stand at 0-3 and will likely head into Week 4 with the league’s least-productive offense and defense. At this rate, it won’t be long before Bills fans start looking forward to Saturdays so they can start scouting for the April draft.

Decimated Defense — The Bills entered the game without defensive starters Keith Ellison, Terrence McGee, Jason Webster and Ko Simpson. Then in the second quarter, linebacker Paul Posluszny broke his forearm. He’ll likely miss the rest of the season.

Who’s that? — Injuries introduced us to linebacker Leon Joe and cornerback Bryant Scott, players who were, for all we know, created on Madden before the game. This is why you don't want to have the most cap room in the league in September.
